On Tuesday, July 15 a bus of AFSCME Activists from Madison, Milwaukee and Racine rode to the AFSCME International Convention in Chicago, IL. We wore our red Wisconsin AFL-CIO shirts and stood on the stage to hear from our next Governor, Mary Burke. Tuesday was a great show of our solidarity and strength in Wisconsin.

We are still waiting on the Wisconsin state supreme court to make a ruling on Act 10 overall. The case in today's news is NOT an overall ruling on Act 10. It is a court case in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals between Laborers Local 236, AFL-CIO v. Scott Walker.

Today, a panel of federal judges ruled that "Act 10 does not infringe on the rights of government workers." This is an unfavorable descision.
